I need to clean out all my ‘read it later’ links – seriously, it is the worst firefox extension ever, because I now have 14 pages of links, half read, half unread and all interesting.

So here is a round-up of some of them… hopefully after this firefox will run faster and so will my whole computer – maybe that is wishful thinking but it is all a part of me cleaning up my whole computer.

Teaching Kids to Argue
This page has good reasoning for teaching your children how to debate and reason. I really appreciated the wisdom because I think you should start giving kids responsibilities much earlier than we tend to in the West.

Radius around a Point
For anyone wishing to be a locavore to a certain distance, this tool is invaluable. You can enter any place – google maps style – and it will draw a circle around it to a radius of your choice, I was really surprised to find that a 100mile radius (as touted by many locavores) actually covers a lot of ground.

Bush-Obama Handshake.
Even though the US presidential election was dirty and underhand in many ways, the fact that when the time comes George Bush will leave office and not refuse to hand over control of the country is pretty amazing. We should not take this for granted.

Instead of linking the page I will just put this quote:
Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution
of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
– Archbishop Oscar Romero

When Mothers kill their Children.
This blog post talks about the differences in when mothers and fathers kill thier children, and the different ways that the media covers either event.

Chickens Chickens Chickens
My sorrellina just bought a new house with a chicken coop, I’ve been reading sites like these and are looking forward to buying them some chickens, providing the neighbours etc allow it.
